Student Life

Academics

Sts. Philip and James School offers a strong core curriculum that merges high academic standards with a values-based education. The school focuses on character development and service as well as academic achievement. Sts. Philip and James works cooperatively with our families and community to educate our students and instill Christian values.

Testing

In addition to class and school exams, your child will also take part in the Archdiocesan testing program which includes the Archdiocesan religion test, annual standardized tests, and New York State Education Department assessments. These tests measure academic growth over a period of time.

The faculty of Sts. Philip and James School reviews these test results regularly for the purpose of curriculum planning, grouping for reading and math, and for determining promotion or retention.
